Introduction

This training guide is used to guide you the overall process of Business Desktop Deployment. And it based on the Business Desktop Deployment Solution Accelerator 2007 Standard Edition Beta 1. You should read the Release Note before using this training guide.

In this training guide, we will focus on Lite Touch Installation for Windows Vista Deployment, User Profile Migration, Office 2003 Unattended Installation, Desktop Imaging….

For the advanced information and steps of Lite Touch Installation and Zero Touch Installation, Please read the Getting Start Guide and the Feature Team Guides of Business Desktop Deployment Solution Accelerator 2007 Standard and Enterprise Edition, Documents of USMT 3.0, Windows AIK, Windows PE 2.0, Application Compatibility, Windows Deployment Service and Office Resource Kit

Concept

Business Desktop Deployment Solution Accelerator provides proven tools and practices that enable IT professionals to: Create a software and hardware inventory to assist in deployment planning; Test applications for compatibility with Windows Vista and mitigate the compatibility issues discovered during the process; Set up an initial lab environment with deployment and imaging servers; Customize and package core and supplemental applications; Automate desktop image creation and deployment; Ensure that the desktop is hardened to improve security within the environment; Manage processes and technologies to produce a comprehensive and integrated deployment.

It contains guidance, sample templates, and technology files (such as scripts and configuration files). It presents deployment guidance as feature team guides that thoroughly explain each deployment process. The guidance in the Solution Accelerator for BDD is structured according to the feature teams and processes.

Prepare Microsoft Office Unattended Installation

To create unattended installation for Microsoft Office, you have to use Microsoft Office Resource Kit-Custom Installation Wizard. In this training lab, we will use Administrative Installation Point for Office Professional Edition 2003. Only editions of Office 2003 acquired through a Volume License agreement or other non-retail channel allow you to create an administrative installation point. You cannot run Setup.exe in administrative mode (/a) with an Office 2003 retail edition. But you can use Local Installation Source for other Office Editions

1. 
   Download Office 2003 Resource Kit; Install it on the Deployment Server with the default options.
   
2. 
   Create a folder Office under D:\
   
3. 
   Insert the Office Professional Edition 2003 CD to the CD Rom drive. Configure the Deployment Server to use the physical CD Rom drive.
   
4. 
   On the Start menu, click Run, type setup.exe /a then click OK. .
   

Note that if you are using the Office 2003 Select CD, type the name of the Setup program for the package you are installing. For example, if you are installing Office 2003 Professional from the Select CD, type SetupPro.exe /a.

5. 
   Accept the default organization name and specify the install location to D:\Office
   
6. 
   Enter the 25-character Volume License Key and click Next.
   
7. 
   Accept the end-user license agreement and click Install.
   

Setup copies the files from the Office 2003 CD to the administrative installation point, extracts the compressed cabinet (CAB) files, and creates a hierarchy of folders in the root folder of the share.

8. 
   Run the Custom Installation Wizard. Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Office 2003 Resource Kit.
   
9. 
   Browse to the D:\Office\PRO11.MSI file in the Open the MSI File page.
   
10. 
    Choose Create a new MSI File.
    
11. 
    Modify the MST file name to Custom.MST.
    
12. 
    Modify any options until the Configure Local Installation Source page
    
13. 
    Choose Do Not Configure Local Installation Source
    

Figure 4. Custom Installation Wizard

14. 
    Click Finish. (You can continue to click Next for configure other options)

Capture the Master Image

To capture a master image (Operating System with Core Applications), you must start a reference computer using the Windows PE bootable image you generated by updating the deployment point. You can start the Windows PE bootable images one of two ways. Windows Deployment Service or DVD

The .wim and .iso image files are in the \Boot folder of the distribution point.

Please refer to the New Computer Scenario to add Deployment Point (Remember to Check the Ask if an image should be captured check box)
Using DVD

1. 
   Copy D:\Distribution\Boot\LiteTouchPE_x86.iso to the Host Machine.
   
2. 
   Start the reference computer Virtual Machine by LiteTouchPE_x86.iso
   
3. 
   In the User Credentials dialog box, type the credentials (user name, domain, and password) necessary to connect to the distribution share, and then click OK.
   
4. 
   In the Configure the computer name and a domain or workgroup page of the BDD Deployment Wizard, choose the Join a workgroup option; then, type a computer name in the Computer name box, type a workgroup name in the Workgroup box, and click Next. You can optionally accept the default computer and workgroup names. (You should join the reference computer to WorkGroup.)
